Introducing Waiting Room Bypass Rules

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced a new feature called "Waiting Room Bypass Rules" that allows customers to easily bypass their waiting rooms for certain users or requests. This feature is designed to provide more flexibility and control over the deployment of Cloudflare's Waiting Room product, which helps prevent traffic surges from overwhelming websites and applications. With this new feature, administrators can now create rules based on IP addresses, URL paths, query strings, or other criteria to ensure that users who need access quickly can do so reliably.
